Undignified Death of LVTP-5

Video November 9, 2020 Hutchins AAron

In April 2019, the administrators of U.S. Marine Corps Base Hawaii decided that it was time to renovate the base, which was code for getting rid of the old Landing Vehicle Tracked Personnel-5 ‘Gate Guard’. Various renovation projects on MCBHawaii have been ongoing for more than a decade.

There has yet to be a public explanation why the LVTP-5 wasn’t renovated itself, instead of being turned into scrap metal.

“There were people out taking measurements on a Hercules, and they said they were going to land a C-130 on an aircraft carrier. I didn’t believe them. Later my CO came around and said the same thing. I still didn’t believe it, but I raised my hand to volunteer anyway. I had no idea what I was getting in to.”-Aviation Machinist Mate First Class Brennan, Transport Squadron One at the Naval Air Test Center, Naval Air Station Patuxent River

Image from U.S. Navy film.

In November 1963, a U.S. Navy KC-130F conducted its first, and last, Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) trials, making it the largest aircraft to ever operate on an aircraft carrier; the USS Forrestal CVA-59.

Image from U.S. Navy film.

The Super COD KC-130F, named “Look Ma, No Hook”‘, “…made 29 touch-and-go landings, 21 unarrested full-stop landings, and 21 unassisted takeoffs at gross weights of 85,000 pounds up to 121,000 pounds.”

Short video issued by Robins Air Force Base, I edited out the hokey music they put over the silent film:

The so-called Super COD testing concluded on 23NOV1963, one day after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

As a result of the successful testing, the U.S. Navy decided it was still too risky to use a Super COD aircraft.

According to Kenneth V. Killmeyer, “KC-130F Bureau Number 149798 was retired from service in March, 2005 and since May of 2005 is at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.”

Government Shenanigans: UH-60 for Afghanistan, killed-off by the Mil 17, U.S. taxpayers raped twice?

Begun under the Barack Obama administration, the UH-60A program for Afghanistan is now drastically scaled back under the Donald Trump administration, due to lack of the Black Hawk’s performance in Afghanistan, a shift in priorities within the U.S. Department of Defense, and the high cost to U.S. taxpayers.

By May 2018, the first large class of Afghan UH-60A crews had completed the Mission Qualification Course (MQC). Video by Jackie Faye showing Afghan UH-60s taking off on their first official mission one day after the MQC graduation:

In June 2018, The U.S. Special Inspector General For Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) criticized the UH-60 program for Afghanistan saying “They are unable to accommodate some of the larger cargo items the Mi-17s can carry, and in general, it takes almost two Black Hawks to carry the load of a single Mi-17. Furthermore, unlike Mi-17s, Black Hawks cannot fly at high elevations and, as such, cannot operate in remote regions of Afghanistan where Mi-17s operate.”

By December 2018, U.S. TAAC-Air contractors continued to train Afghan personnel on the UH-60A.

In February 2019, SIGAR warned that the $7-billion U.S. taxpayer funded program to replace Afghanistan’s Russian built helicopters with U.S. made helicopters (first proposed in 2014, mainly using the UH-60A+) was flawed because “DOD does not currently have a maintenance training course in place to train Afghan personnel to maintain UH-60s. Having insufficient Afghan maintenance personnel limits the locations at which UH-60s can operate because DOD policy bars U.S. contractors from working where there is no U.S. or Coalition control due to security concerns.”

In January 2020, the Military Times reported “The U.S. military is reducing the number of UH-60 Black Hawks it plans to provide Afghan forces from 159 to just 53…..”, ostensibly because the U.S. Department of Defense no longer considers Afghanistan a priority.

September 2020, the Financial Express explains the reasons why ‘Afghan Military to stick to Russian-made Helocraft’, saying the Obama era program to rely mainly on UH-60s to replace proven Russian technology was “primarily driven by political concern”.

Don’t worry all you happy U.S. taxpayers, you paid for those Russian made ‘Hip’ helicopters as well, to the tune of $15-million each!

The term dayglo originates from the name of a paint company whose primary customers were retail advertisers, but that changed with a big boost from the U.S. Department of War (established 1789-1947) during World War Two, a military supply contract which lasted through the undeclared Cold War (and beyond). Ironically during the Cold War decades, the company was not only getting business from the U.S. National Military Establishment (1947-1949) and U.S. Department of Defense (1949-present), but from the hippie-dippie peace movement by selling its neon paints to producers of peace posters and music industry advertising. In 1969 the company first known as Fluor-S-Art, then as Switzer Brothers (in honor of the founders), changed its name to Day-Glo Paint Corporation. In 1985, Day-Glo was sold to Nalco Chemical Company, and today it boasts of being the world’s largest producer of florescent colors.

B-25: Old Glory goes down for the 2nd time

Video October 25, 2020 Hutchins AAron

After spending most of the year flying at various locations across the United States, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War Two (click this link to see pics and video interview with current owner), a B-25 Mitchell named Old Glory (44-28938) cashed, for the second time in its post-war career.

Photo via San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.

According to California’s San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, on 19SEP2020 the crew of Old Glory reported a mechanical problem and made an emergency landing in a Stockton farm field. The emergency landing turned into a crash landing after the old bomber got tripped-up by an irrigation ditch. The three crewmen suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Photo via San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.

News reports stated that this was the second time the restored combat veteran had crashed. The first time was near Reno, Nevada, in 1987. The dedicated owners spent 18-thousand hours repairing and restoring the damaged B-25, completing the job in 1995. It was then that B-25N 44-28938 got the name Old Glory.

Old Glory on Honolulu, Hawaii, 25AUG2020. U.S. Army photo by Sergeant Gabriel Davis.

Towards the end of 2019, Old Glory was purchased by The Prescott Foundation-Hanger743 of New York. During WW2 it operated over the Mediterranean with the 12th Army Air Force (specific squadron still unknown). Following the war it was converted to TB-25N radio navigation trainer, then to a waterbomber. In 1978, B-25N 44-28938 began its current career as a flying museum exhibit, under the pseudonyms Dream Lover and Spirit of Tulsa.

Video October 23, 2020 Hutchins AAron

SAC=Strategic Air Command

These photos were taken in the late 1950s by the father-in-law to Russel Sharp.

Russel Sharp (the guy in the uniform) was a crew chief (aka maintainer) and flight engineer on B-25s flown by SAC, out of Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas.

Between 1954 and 1959, U.S. Air Force SAC used the World War Two U.S. Army Air Force B-25 Mitchells as trainers for incoming nuclear bomber crews. Doctor John Garrett, 17th Training Wing historian, explains that “This specific aircraft was built in 1944 and was converted in 1945 from a bomber to a trainer model. It flew as a trainer until 1959 and its last years were in Dyess. This plane was kept downtown in San Angelo, and in 1983 Charlie Powell, former wing commander, rescued it from San Angelo.”

U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Scott Jackson, 02AUG2017.

On 02AUG2017, Russel Sharp returned to Goodfellow AFB to check-out the B-25 gate guard installed near Jacobson Gate. Going by the tail number it is the same B-25 that Sharp spent more than 9-hundred hours flying on. Sharp said the connection was made when an old Air Force buddie saw the gate guard and was sure the tail number was the same.

David Nabarro, World Health Organization special envoy for CoViD-19, warned in 08OCT2020 video interview, with the Spectator’s The Week in 60 Minutes, admits that nobody knows how to properly respond to CoViD and that lockdowns could be worse than the pandemic: “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control….. …..lockdowns have just one consequence….making poor people an awful lot poorer.”

This is from a UN WHO report about the economic realities of lockdowns and mass-testing, made public in July 2020: “In larger populations, however, such comprehensive surveillance may be impracticable or too costly and the test workload may rapidly outstrip capacity and resources….. long-term lockdowns may not be an option because economic necessity could preclude self-isolation.”
